Ô Retour du Marché — Cooking and artisanal cheesemaking workshops in Lyon
Cook and cheesemaker in Lyon, I offer cooking classes using local produce from the Saint-Antoine market.
Welcome Ô Retour du Marché
Through my culinary and cheese-making workshops, I will introduce you to Healthy and Responsible cuisine.
Behind every recipe, there are Farmers who provide us with their passion and thanks to whom we can enjoy, with delight, dishes that respect Seasonality, the Environment and Animal Welfare, without ever sacrificing Pleasure and Desire.
In each of my classes, I guide you, step by step, through the preparation of recipes. Some will be more technical than others, while respecting the specific rules of cooking.

What they say
“We had a timeless moment with Fanny. Thanks to her kindness and dynamism, this workshop becomes just extraordinary. Thanks to the fact that we are in a small group, it also allows her to take time with us and have a good laugh! The fact that we leave with our creations is great, the workshop continues at home. With my partner, we will take the time to make more at home. A big big thank you to Fanny! Give her strength because it was truly just magical.”

From the very moment we arrived , Fanny was warm , energized, perceptive , organized high energy fun❤️ Fanny and her industrial but quaint kitchen welcomed our two tweens with her skills and friendship .
